Background and objective Neoantigen reactive T cell(NRT)has the ability to inhibit the growth of tumors expressing specific neoantigens.However,due to the difficult immune infiltration and the inhibition of tumor micro en-vironment,the therapeutic effect of NRT in solid tumors is limited.In this study,we designed NRT cells(7×19 NRT)that can express both interleukin-7(IL-7)and chemokine C-C motif ligand 19(CCL19)in mouse lung cancer cells,and evaluated the difference in anti-tumor effect between 7×19 NRT cells and conventional NRT cells.Methods We performed next-generation sequencing and neoantigen prediction for mouse Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC),prepared RNA vaccine,cultured NRT cells,constructed retroviral vectors encoding IL-7 and CCL19,transduced NRT cells and IL-7 and CCL19 were successfully ex-pressed,and 7×19 NRT was successfully obtained.The anti-tumor effect was evaluated in vivo and in vitro in mice.Results The 7×19 NRT cells significantly enhanced the proliferation and invasion ability of T cells by secreting IL-7 and CCL19,achieved significant tumor inhibition in the mouse lung cancer and extended the survival period of mice.The T cell infiltration into tumor tissue and the necrosis of tumor tissue increased significantly after 7×19 NRT treatment.In addition,both 7×19 NRT treatment and conventional NRT treatment were safe.Conclusion The anti-solid tumor ability of NRT cells is significantly enhanced by the arming of IL-7 and CCL19,which is a safe and effective genetic modification of NRT.

Objective To assess the prevalence of mycoplasma genitalium(MG)in patients attending sexually transmitted disease(STD)clinic in Guangzhou,and to provide an epidemiological foundation for clinical treatment and laboratory diagnostics.Methods Utilizing real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR),we analyzed MG DNA in 2,749 clinical specimens collected from 2,722 outpatients in the Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University from July 2019 to December 2021.Concurrent testing for MG,Chlamydia trachomatis(CT),and Neisseria gonorrhoeae(NG)was performed on 2,382 of these specimens.Patient data extracted from medical records were used to investigate the correlation between STD symptoms and MG infection.Results The investigation revealed that the overall prevalence of MG infection was 4.4%among the sampled patients(120 out of 2,722),with a higher prevalence in males(4.9%,or 87 out of 1,790)compared to in females(3.5%,or 33 out of 932).Notably,the prevalence decreased with increasing age.The highest incidence of MG infection was observed in females aged 18～25 years(6.4%,or 18 out of 281),while the lowest was in males aged 46 years and above(1.5%,or 5 out of 342),showing a statistically significant variation across age groups(P<0.05).Among males with urethritis symptoms,MG positive rate was significantly higher at 7.3%(42 out of 574).The rate of single MG infection was prominent,accounting for 89.9%(71 out of 79)in MG-positive male patients and 61.5%(16 out of 26)in MG-positive female patients.Co-infection rate of MG with CT was 1.2%in females and 0.3%in males,indicating a significant dif-ference(P<0.05).Conclusion The findings suggest a relatively high prevalence of MG infection and co-infection with CT among STD clinic attendees in Guangzhou,particularly in the younger demographic.The study underscores the need for early screening and vigilant surveillance of MG to mitigate its transmission among sexually active popula-tions at high risk.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)for the treatment of colorectal tumors, and to analyze risk factors affecting operation time. Methods A retrospective study was conducted using data of 74 cases with colorectal tumor,who underwent ESD in Department of Gastroenterology of Wuhan University Renmin Hospital from January 2014 to September 2015. The clinical efficacy of ESD, occurrence of complications and follow-up results were summarized,and the risk factors of operation time were analyzed. Results The rate of ESD en bloc resection and histological complete resection was 97.30%(72/74)and 89.19%(66/74), respectively. Among the 8 cases of histological non-curative resection, 2 cases received appended surgical procedures because of deep invasion of tumor(SM2),6 cases were given close follow-up according to the pathological result of adenomas. Among the 74 cases, no acute hemorrhage or pneumoperitoneum occurred. Four cases (5.41%, 4/74)had postoperative delayed bleeding, and were successfully treated by endoscopic hemostasis. Four cases(5.41%, 4/74)had intraoperative perforation, and were successfully treated by endoscope. No recurrence or abnormal lesions occurred during the follow-up of 15-35 months. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that tumor size was a main risk factor for ESD operation time(P=0.000). Conclusion ESD, as a minimally invasive treatment, is safe and effective for the treatment of colorectal tumors,and the tumor size is a main risk factor of ESD operation time.

Objective To investigate the effect of soluble endothclial protein C receptor(sEPCR) on natural killer(NK) cells and Th17 cells of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) patients and further to study the mechanism of the occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods 35 cases with epithelial ovarian cancer were selected as the experimental group,and 35 healthy women were chosen as the control group.Peripheral venous blood sample(8 ml)was extracted from each subject.Plasma,serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were obtained from the blood sample.ELISA was used to detect the level of plasma sEPCR and serum IL-17 and IL-21.Flow cytometry was used to detect proportions of NK cells and Th17 cells in PBMCs.Results Compared to the control group,the level of plasma sEPCR in the experimental group increased significantly(P ＜ 0.05).The level of serum IL-17,IL-21 and proportion of NK and Th17 cells in PBMCs significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05).Correlation analysis showed that sEPCR was negatively correlated with IL-17,IL-21,Th17 cells and NK cells,and the correlation coefficient r was-0.71,-0.62,-0.68 and-0.79,respectively.Conclusion sEPCR in epithelial ovarian cancer patients possibly promotes the proliferation of tumor cells through inhibition of NK and Th17 cells.
